This is in addition to the asthma, to lung infections and the hypersensitivity pneumonia, “warns the pulmonologist Fernanda Miranda, which serves at the clinical center of the Orion complex in Goiânia.
The mold rises, most of the time, due to infiltrations in buildings, which may appear on the walls due to the rains or from infiltrations in the ground. According to the Saint-Gobain regional sales coordinator, Quartzolit division, Anderson Araújo, this second possibility is the most common.
Therefore, to avoid the presence of mold, especially in the rainy season, or if your home is built on a humid soil, the tip is to invest in preventive waterproofing. Raphael Monteiro Batista, head of the shopping of Brothers Soares, explains that this process offers many benefits.
“The waterproofing generates protection on the walls against cracks and cracks. Furthermore, it generates an aesthetic and functional benefit, as it avoids future headaches with mold and infiltration,” says the director. Even so, many works are made without it.
Here are the suggestions of Anderson Araújo, in this sense, to put an end to the infiltrations of mold and home:
Plan everything in advance
Make sure to insert the waterproofing cost in the project, evaluate the soil to learn the best shape and the most suitable product and perform the waterproofing of the Baldrames beams during the foundation and the walls during work. But remember, waterproofing should be applied directly to the bricks while absorbing humidity.
“It is useless to apply in the plaster, or above the painting, or put the floor later. What will happen over time is that everything will fall and the damage will be triple, with the costs of materials, labor and time,” he says.
I have not waterproof and I’m with mold at home, and now?
Calm! There are solutions that can resolve or positively soften the problem, depending on your attention, your work and where it has been installed.
“Today there are high -tech and quality products that can be used after completion of the work. For each case of infiltration, there are specific products and, above all, identify the cause and make the application correctly,” he said.
Look for help from qualified professionals
Anderson says that waterproofing products are easy to use and the instruction holder label, but in these cases it is not a good alternative.
“While setting the example of the wall, for each type of infiltration, we have an indicated product and a correct form and a correct application time. If a product asks to apply three hands and the user has applied only two to save, he has already compromised the result. Therefore, having a professional trained in his work makes the difference”, he says.
